OF BRAKE FLUID. CHECK THAT, DURING THE OPERATION, THERE IS ALWAYS BRAKE FLUID
IN THE RESERVOIR.
•
Remove the rubber protection cover from the bleed valve.
•
Insert the transparent plastic pipe in the front brake calliper bleed valve and slide the other
end of this pipe in a container to collect the fluid.
•
Remove the front brake fluid reservoir cap.
•
Quickly press and release the front brake lever several times and then keep it fully pressed.
•
Loosen the bleed valve 1/4 of a turn so that the brake fluid flows into the container. This will
release the tension on the brake lever and will make it reach the end of stroke.
•
Close the bleed valve before the lever reaches its end of stroke.
•
Repeat the operation until the fluid draining into the container is air-bubble free.
NOTE
WHILE PURGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, FILL THE RESERVOIR WITH THE NECESSARY
QUANTITY OF BRAKE FLUID. CHECK THAT, DURING THE OPERATION, THERE IS ALWAYS
BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR.
•
Screw the bleeding valve and remove the pipe.
•
Top-up the reservoir until the correct brake fluid level is obtained.
•
Refit and block the front brake oil reservoir cap.
•
Refit the rubber protection cover.
Rear
Any air trapped in the hydraulic circuit acts as a cushion, absorbing much of the pressure applied by
the brake pump and minimising the braking power of the calliper.
The presence of air is signalled by the "sponginess" of the brake control and poor braking efficiency.
CAUTION
CONSIDERING THE DANGER FOR VEHICLE AND RIDER, IT IS STRICTLY NECESSARY, AFTER
REFITTING BRAKES AND RESTORING THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO THE REGULAR USE CON-
DITIONS, THAT THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT BE AIR PURGED.
THE VEHICLE MUST BE ON LEVEL
GROUND TO BE PURGED. WHILE PURGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, FILL THE RESERVOIR
WITH THE NECESSARY QUANTITY OF BRAKE FLUID. CHECK THAT, DURING THE OPERATION,
THERE IS ALWAYS BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR.
•
Remove the rubber protection cover from the bleed valve.
